Survey Methods ________________________________________ The survey is a non-experimental‚ descriptive research method. Surveys can be useful when a researcher wants to collect data on phenomena that cannot be directly observed (such as opinions on library services). Surveys are used extensively in library and information science to assess attitudes and characteristics of a wide range of subjects‚ from the quality of user-system interfaces to library user reading habits. In a survey‚ researchers sample

other words‚ if something has often happened in the past‚ it will likely happen in the future (Lee & Baskerville‚ 2003). In research that is extremely important because once researchers have collected enough data to support their hypothesis‚ they can develop a premise to predict the outcome in similar situations with a certain degree of accuracy (Lee & Baskerville‚ 2003).

system is one that transmits and controls energy through the use of pressurised liquid or gas. In Pneumatics‚ this power is air. This of course comes from the atmosphere and is reduced in volume by compression thus increasing its pressure. Compressed air is mainly used to do work by acting on a piston or vane. While this energy can be used in many facets of industry‚ the field of Industrial Pneumatics is considered here. The correct use of pneumatic control requires an adequate knowledge of
